The inside-the-law approach that works to some limited extent is public community rejection. Things like large groups showing up and standing with their back to the Nazis.

The method that has historically stopped Nazis like this involves getting some level of police cooperation and beating them up

The only thing that always works

So let me get this straight, you want to commit mass murder, but you also don't want to get hit? Idk, man, seems a little hypocritical.

I always read it as a guy who saw war movies where people cower in fear of Nazi officers so he went outside expecting the same results.

I had the misfortune of working with that guy before he went mask-off. weird fucking dude who couldn't stop hitting on the women in the office

Not that it justifies or excuses anything at all, but I definitely think there's a pipeline from the, like, Joe Rogan / Andrew Tate segment of the toxic manosphere that leads down this path. There are probably opportunities to save some of these people before their craving for attention leads them to hate

Stochastic terrorism is the keyword. Blame edgy creators like PewDiePie for this. He exposed hateful people and ideas to his audience. He has no remorse while calling for genocide of brown people, writing "death to all Jews" or saying n-word with hard r. He also promoted imperialist, bat-shit crazy books to his fanbase.

Rocks are an effective tool against Nazis

A bucket of paint works better. Then you can follow them more easily and put a brick through their window.

Throw glass bottles. You can choose to fill them with your choice of fuel, or maybe piss? Idk, you choose! 🔥

It's weird. They're the minority, and yet they adore bullying those that are different. Maybe try standing in front of them with at least as many people...? They're Nazis. They'll turn around and go home...

Fire them, and take away their badges.

Nazis are about a populist show of power to intimidate political enemies. You combat them by 1. Not being intimidated 2. Do whatever you can to show them their ideas are not popular and that they are out umbered 3. Don't throw bricks. Throw milkshakes.

Surviving brick attack: harrowing, heroic, convinces base they are political heroes defending ideas people desperately want to silence.

Surviving milkshake attack: Humiliating, no way to spin it to make yourself looks like a serious defender of liberty. Shows that people aren't so afraid of fascist ideas they'll do anything to stop it, they just think fascists are blowhard assholes.

Fascism and Nazism is all about projecting power against a treating political group. They want to see themselves as the white knights of serious, professional defense of an ideology. Tp defeat them, you have to suck the wind out of their sails by making them look silly and showing them that they're just a bunch of angry nerds.

But that'll bring all the boys to the yard.

Lansky rounded up some of his tough associates and went around New York disrupting Nazi meetings. Young Jews not connected to him or the rackets also volunteered to help, and Lansky and others taught them how to use their fists and handle themselves in a fight. Lansky’s crews worked very professionally. Nazi arms, legs, and ribs were broken and skulls cracked, but no one died. The attacks continued for more than a year. And Lansky earned quite a reputation for doing this work.

Chefs kiss.

Who is this Lansky fellow?

Pepper spray seems easy and effective.

  1. Talk to all your neighbors, have a block party, know eachother.

  2. Rip off their masks, take pictures of their face, make them famous on your social media.

it's never wrong to punch a nazi

Not until they hide behind cops who end up protecting them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Good chance they are the cop

Find a good gas station with really strong Eaves.

Knock their ass out so they are afraid to show their face? I know that's assault but who the fuck cares about nazis
